More: Wag is my best friend and my Conservation dog in training. Wag is named after a historic wildfire fighter named Wagner Dodge, and so it is fitting that he comes to burn with me when he can! As a wildlife biologist, I work with a variety of wildlife and my lifelong dream was to have a dog I could take to work with me, and then when I graduated college, I was given Wag! We have been best friends ever since.
